WILTON — A Wilton man is in trouble with police again after a domestic disturbance at his residence just before 10 p.m., a police spokesman said.

Marcellino Castillo, 78, of 5 Mather St., Wilton, was charged with violation of a protective order, was held on $250 bond — which he could not post — and was transported to Norwalk Superior Court for an Oct. 9 appearance.

According to police, Castillo violated a protective order that was granted in August following third-degree assault and disorderly conduct charges that followed this father-son altercation that began when Castillo wanted a bottle of vodka, which his son had hidden from him earlier.

In the August dispute, Castillo became upset and hit his son on the head with an 18-inch long piece of ¾-inch plywood, breaking the wood in half with impact, police said.

According to police, the blow caused a three-inch cut on the top of the son’s head, and a scuffle ensued.

When police responded at the home where both men reside, the son refused medical treatment.

This time around, according to police, the father and son engaged in a verbal argument, and the son told officers Castillo was verbally abusive towards him, calling him names, and indicating that he would fight the son.

The valid protective order in place prevented Castillo from harassing or threatening the son, police said.

WILTON — A Westport man turned himself in at Wilton Police Headquarters after learning about a warrant for his arrest, a police spokesman said.

Elliott Fisher, 59, of 3 Greens Farms Hollow, Westport, was charged with second-degree failure to appear, was released on a $495 cash bond, and given a date of Oct. 20 in Norwalk Superior Court.

According to police, Fisher incurred charges of operating an unregistered motor vehicle, operating a motor vehicle under suspension, and having no insurance in April, and he missed a court date in September, prompting the Paperless Arrest Warrant Network (PRAWN) warrant to be issued.

WILTON — A Bridgeport man received multiple moving violations after a traffic stop just after 3 a.m. on Danbury Road, a police spokesman said.

Keith Preston, 30, of 707 Laurel Ave., Bridgeport, was charged with driving under the influence or alcohol and/or drugs, failure to stay in the proper lane, failure to obey a control signal, operating a motor vehicle with a suspended license, and having no insurance.

Preston was unable to pass the field sobriety tests administered on the scene, and was taken into custody, police said.

At headquarters, the first blood-alcohol test came back 0.00, so the officer asked Preston to take a urine test, and Preston said he was unable to, producing a “refusal” in the report, police said.

A urine test from the state can take three to four weeks, police said.

According to police, Preston was pulled over on Danbury Road at West Church Street for failure to stay in the proper lane, and failure to obey a control signal.

Preston was unable to provide the necessary paperwork for operating a motor vehicle, and received the final three charges, police said.

Preston was unable to post the $500 bond, and was held until he was transported to Norwalk Superior Court later on Oct. 9.

Eric M. Sesto, 40, of 115 Nod Hill Road, Ridgefield, was charged with driving under the influence of alcohol, failure to drive in the proper lane, and operating a motor vehicle without insurance, and was released on a promise to appear in Norwalk Superior Court on Oct. 23.

According to police, Sesto’s vehicle was observed northbound on Route 7, operating in an erratic manner, and when the vehicle was stopped, Sesto showed signs of intoxication, police said.

Sesto was uncooperative and refused field sobriety tests, but he did submit to two Breathalyzer tests, which came back at 0.224 and 0.213 blood-alcohol content levels, police said.

According to police, Sesto was held until morning, then released on his promise to appear.

WILTON — A Ridgefield woman collected four violations after a one-vehicle accident on Drum Hill Road just after 1:30 a.m., a police spokesman said.

Colleen McManus, 25, of 75 Crescent Drive, Ridgefield, was charged with driving under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs, failure to drive in the proper lane, cell phone violation, and possession of drug paraphernalia, and was released on a promise to appear in Norwalk Superior Court on Oct. 23.

According to police, McManus’ 2012 Honda Civic was northbound on Drum Hill Road at Cheesespring Road when it drifted off the road and struck a utility pole.

McManus said she was texting on her phone while driving, and an odor of alcohol was detected from McManus, who failed field sobriety tests, police said.

A marijuana pipe was located inside the vehicle, and McManus was placed under arrest and taken to Wilton police headquarters, police said.

McManus’ blood-alcohol content level was 0.15, and she was issued a misdemeanor summons to appear in court.

WILTON — A resident of Ridge Lane reported a possible burglary just after 10 a.m., stemming from events the night before, a police spokesman said.

According to police, two females were in the residence when they called 911 at approximately midnight, telling the dispatcher that they saw three people on their back deck.

Officers arrived and cleared the scene, finding no evidence of anyone being on the property or in the house, police said.

At about 4 a.m., another call from the same residence told police of a noise outside the house, but officers again could find no one, police said.

At approximately 10 a.m. the next morning, the resident called to report she discovered a cheese knife laying on the floor near the exterior door, a computer monitor appeared to have been bumped partially off its desk, and the front door was unlocked, police said.

The women believed they had locked all the doors into the house, and there were no signs of forced entry, police said.

This incident remains under investigation, police said.

Sunday, Oct. 12

WILTON — A larceny from an unlocked vehicle in the driveway of a residence on Fawn Ridge Lane was reported just before midnight, a police spokesman said.

According to police, a resident reported hearing the overhead garage door open and then close, and upon looking out a window the resident observed a person, believed to be male, wearing a dark-colored hooded sweatshirt with the hood pulled up, running southbound from the vicinity.

The area was checked by the Wilton K-9 Unit, but no suspect was located, police said.

According to police, the resident’s unlocked 2014 Acura MDX, which was parked outside, was believed to have been entered, as the remote garage key fob (valued at $100) could not be located from within the residence.

WILTON — A Wilton boyfriend-girlfriend couple with a Wilton police history got themselves back in trouble after a domestic squabble just before 9:30 p.m., a police spokesman said.

Pamela Harvey, 62, and Jared Sibayan, 37, both of 39 Cedar Road, Wilton, were each charged with disorderly conduct, and both were released on a promise to appear in Norwalk Superior Court on Oct. 14.

According to police, Harvey said Sibayan entered her locked bedroom and took her cell phone, then gathered up all the land line phones and took them to his bedroom.

Sometime in between, Harvey claims Sibayan broke a kitchen chair in the kitchen, then Sibayan went downstairs to his bedroom, police said.

Sibayan said Harvey used a piece of the broken chair to strike his door, while Sibayan claimed he did not take any of the phones; he said he just went into his bedroom, police said.

Sibayan called 911, and officers found Harvey’s cell phone outside the door to Sibayan’s bedroom, and one land line phone was discovered in his bedroom, police said.

Harvey admits throwing the back of the broken chair at Sibayan, police said.
